Hello!
I’m Amy and I love noticing God's nudges of grace in everyday life. I’m a writer, speaker, and spiritual director, and I look forward to connecting with you.

Let’s connect:

Currently in the stupendous Big Apple with my daughter (huge thanks to the generous person making this possible) and we’re having a ball. More photos to come, but I give you here the Strand Bookstore, 18 miles of books and family owned since 1927.

Buy books! Support authors/publishers/booksellers! As the photos says, it’s less than a night at the movies....

A trip to the States with my daughter - a coming of age experience for her - with a too-quick stop in Minnesota before amazing days in the Big Apple.

It’s been punctuated by visits to diners, from Mickey’s with my parents after they picked us up from the airport (best veggie omelette EVER) to an amazing breakfast burrito at the diner across from our hotel in Midtown to sampling the world-famous Junior’s cheesecake and enjoying dinner at the diner right by Grand Central Station.

More photos to come but here’s a look at life in the American diner...

I invite you to exhale as you take in the beauty of my dad's painting, one that was a candidate for "The Trees Clap their Hands" chapter in Holding onto Hope, our book that I'd of course love for you to have! I adore this painting, even if it didn't make it into the book. I don't get to see the vibrant Fall colors every year of the upper Midwest in the States, but this beauty takes me right back in my imagination.

How is God inviting you to rest and relax into his love even if you have to release something as it comes to the end of its life (a project, a dream, a relationship)?

I'm going to be sending out my monthly newsletter

I'm going to be sending out my monthly newsletter early next week and will include a flash sale of my books, including Celebrating Christmas and Holding onto Hope, the beautiful hardcover four-color books featuring my dad's artwork (perfect for gift giving, including to yourself!).

Join me for a “stroll” in the gardens and grounds at @stkatharinesparmoor? We’ve had amazing weather this weekend, the bright sunshine filling us with warmth and hope.

This previously was a convent, and I always like to go visit the nuns and their animals (well not them exactly but their graves), pondering the decades of prayers in this place that help to to be a thin space, a place to exhale and enjoy God presence.

And the Lady Ryder garden is a wonderful place to enjoy with its late season produce (pumpkins, tomatoes, raspberries) and flowers just hanging on in their beauty.

I will be leading another weekend next year, but in the meantime you could come for other retreats (I know @penelopeswithinbank is leading an Advent retreat, for instance, here) or a quiet day on your own.

A Celtic blessing:
Bless to us, O God, the earth beneath our feet.
Bless to us, O God, the path whereon we go.
Bless to us, O God, the people whom we meet.
Bless to us, O God, each thing our eyes see.
Bless to us, O God, each sound our ears hear.
Bless to us, O God, each ray that guides our way.
Amen

Exhaling before the guests arrive for this weekend

Exhaling before the guests arrive for this weekend’s retreat at St Katharine’s Parmoor. I’m sitting in the sunshine in the Lady Ryder gardens, enjoying the warmth. Yes the lawn is being mown so the rattling of the motor is not the most bestest soundtrack, but I’m practicing rest in the midst of the distractions. Like life, right?

This lovely retreat centre is only just over an hour from me in North London. You might want to check it out!
